Yes it can. But the angle can be quite extreme.

Better way to do it is separate the gearbox from the engine and pull them out from the top individually.

You’ll spend quite a bit of time under the car disconnecting mounts, driveshafts, wiring etc.

Remove the gearbox crossmember to give more room if going for the one piece removal.

I've pulled them attached. Yes the angle is significant.

The other way to do it is to drop it out the bottom. The cross member and trans mount will unbolt.

Raise the car or lower the cross member/engine-trans.

Sometimes if it’s possible I’ll cut away the radiator support. Part car going to tue yard would be a candidate.

Hey you’re in CT too, right ? Which yard(s) are you dealing with these days?
